Universal Muffin Mix Recipe

This is a recipe for a muffin base mix. I learned to make it when employed as a baker in a neighborhood shop. Cranberry orange is my favorite. I am happy to pass it on.
Store in a large airtight container labeled with the date and contents, in a cool dry place.

We drink raw milk in our household, so I would prefer to omit the powdered pasteurized milk - and I found this link for conversion of dry milk in recipes to liquid milk, for those who are also interested: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_conversion_for_dry_milk_to_liquid_milk - so I need to figure out how much powdered milk ends up in each "serving" of the mix, so I can know how much liquid milk to add instead. :D

Made these with Orange Flavored Cranberries from Trader Joe's because that's what I had that looked like it would be good. Came out just a little dry, probably because they were a bit overcooked. Nothing in my oven is ever ready in the minimum time listed in a recipe, so I didn't check until after 18 minutes and they were already a little too dark. Will be more careful next time and I'm eager to try other variations.

When I first looked at the quantities I thought it would take months to get through so much mix. Then I looked at the variations list... I'm off to buy a great big jar to put my 25 cups' worth of mix into! Thanks - I can't wait to try some of these out.

Oh, how I appreciate your post!!! It is so generous sharing this with us, and with so many options for different muffins... I really love this recipe since it is so handy and reliable. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
